hi sky observation wheel Munich - say hi to the sky

The assembly of the hi-sky started two months before its maiden-ride, mid-February 2019. This is a period of time in Munich during which the onset of winter might severely compromise any planning. Up to twelve fitters were working on the huge steel structure. For raising the masts, a 800-ton crane was needed. After this decisive stage had been reached, the assembly of the spokewheel and the installation oft he passenger cabins were the next steps. The observation wheel features a total of 27, each fully glassed-in and air-conditionned. At halftime, mid-March, 19 out of 27 spokes traversed the Ferris wheel - and, starting with the sixth week one gondola per spoke was installed. Now, after its maiden-ride Munich’s new landmark spins its rounds at a leisurely pace of less than one kilometer per hour.
